We all thought Umino was the next Tana. Maybe it’s Oiwa? His rise in Noah has been excellent and he is already so polished. His selling and charisma has leveled up immensely, and his heat/fire up spots remind me so much of Tana’s early runs. His move set is coming together really nicely as a combination of heavy strikes and big moves. His look has come together very well and he’s already wearing the Ace look (long tights/white Ace boots). Plus the current mullet is glorious.
I can’t wait for his return. I just hope he keeps the current look/move set, and am curious to see where he lands. I almost feel like he either needs to be a lone wolf for a while (like if the other Reiwa guys treat him as a kohai and won’t accept him as an equal) but then build up his own faction around him, or give him his own faction from the start.
He definitely has the makings to be one of the top guys soon, I just hope they push him right.
